Lila: "One seeks instead the highest quality intellectual explanation of things with the knowledge that if the past
is any guide to the future this explanation must be taken provisionally; as useful until something better comes
along."

I was under the impression that experiential learning/unlearning was a basic tenet of MoQ. Without Empirical learning
and the ability to change the MoQ based on new experiences, the MoQ would constitute constitute a kind of mystical
belief system wouldn't it? That MoQ holds no absolute "Truth", and recognizes that other values systems may possess
varying degrees of utility, in no way reduces the uniqueness of MoQ's scope and depth. I would hope a group smart
enough to sincerely care about MoQ would have a healthy tolerance for the idiotic annoying ideas that other people come
up. Generally these ideas are the most annoying when they're better than your own. It just burns me up. 8]
